At the heart of Freudenhaus Studio's 36 qm (approx. 388 sq. ft) control room is an SSL Duality SE 48 channel console, which is surrounded by outboard racks stacked with an audiophiles dream team of compressors, equalizers and reverb units such as Helios, EAR, Manley, EMT, Lexicon, AMS etc. Lavry converters and a Telefunken M15 1" tape machine ensure the availability of your optimum sound choices for your final print.
